In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Builds a file path from a variable src/worker.js:24

  fs.appendFileSync(path.join(DATA_DIR, file), JSON.stringify({ ts: new Date().toISOString(), ...obj }) + "\n");

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Blixtworks every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: BLIXTWORKS_PRIVATE_KEY (Private key of a wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base. Used only to sign per-request payments (well under a cent per call). Use a dedicated low-balance wallet. Without it the free status tool still works.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Blixtworks — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Blixtworks do?

It exposes 68 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: address_validate, base64, caption, case_convert, categorize, check_credit and 62 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Blixtworks mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around image, json and lookup. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Blixtworks working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 377 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Blixtworks?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Blixtworks need an API key?

No. Blixtworks completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 68 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Blixtworks?

It answers our handshake in 377 ms on average, which is faster than 42% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Blixtworks?

The npm package blixtworks-mcp was installed 50 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Blixtworks open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
